Notable Female Leaders
Notable Female Leaders
View groupTaken together, female leaders don't always have much in common, aside from gender. Some have brought peace to troubled lands, while others have strewn discontent. Some have been competent or brilliant, others inept or corrupt. Some enormously popular, others ousted. They come from political positions ranging from arch-conservative to ultra-leftist, represent all the world's religions, have been warmongers and peace lovers. All that can be said with certainty is that they have been women in charge.

Million-Dollar Ideas
Million-Dollar Ideas
View groupWith innovative ideas and charismatic personalities, many African-Americans have made lasting contributions to the country, while also earning millions. Oprah Winfrey emerged as a world-famous one-woman brand with her show, eventually becoming the world's first black billionaire. Robert L. Johnson started BET, the cable channel geared towards African-Americans. Athlete Michael Jordan turned into a household name through numerous endorsement deals. These people were among the first African-Americans to overcome the obstacles of discrimination and achieve top honors in their fields. With talent and determination, each one reinvented not only what it meant to be an African-American, but also what it meant to be an American.
